North Zealand

North Zealand is a holiday favourite with Danes and not just because of its close proximity to Copenhagen. North Zealand offers you lakes, deep woodland and green open landscapes, perfect for walking, cycling and camping. For a couple holiday, try the Love on a Bike Theme. North Zealand is fringed by calm coastline where you can dip in some of Denmark’s best coastal swimming areas.

The drive or train ride north into the region winds along the beautiful Oresund coast, giving you views across to Sweden. The massive Isefjord and Roskilde Fjord define the West of the region, while the famous Kronborg Castle, immortalised in Shakespeare’s Hamlet, sits proud at the North in the town of Elsinore.

Follow the sloping bridge down into the former dry dock between Kronborg Castle and The Culture Yard and enter a fabulous underground museum.

The Danish Riviera

Head to the Danish Riviera, a short drive from Copenhagen and lined with lovely, calm beaches. The famous Coast Road winds north from the capital past beach after beach on the way to some of Denmark's most popular holidays destinations.
